Earlier Tuesday, a Kassam rocket launched from Gaza exploded in an open area in the Eshkol regional council.

No damage or injuries were reported in the attack.

Prior
to the Kassam being launched, terrorists fired a mortar shell which
exploded in an open area in the regional council. No damage or injuries
were reported.

Last Thursday, a Kassam rocket struck an open field in the regional council.

The rocket was the first to fall in Israeli territory following two months of calm along the Gaza border.

The last rocket to hit Israel was on April 18, just before the Pessah holiday. No injuries were reported in that attack.Prior to that attack, the Gaza border region saw the largest escalation since Operation Cast Lead in late 2008 to early 2009.

Ten days into April, the IDF and Gaza-based terrorist groups implemented
an unofficial ceasefire following weeks of rocket and mortar fire
followed by IDF artillery and air strikes in the Strip.
